Well dear readers, chums, family and anybody who may have an interest in reading a complete strangers thoughts and record of a planned over land trip to Australia, today is my first attempt at putting all this together.
Boring into stuff........
I decided to do this as a way of keeping in touch with those I love dearly, so they can see what I'm up to. I need a guardian angel and this is where you guys come in, you see dear reader I am a naive traveller, someone who gets into all sorts of silly scrapes - "hey English, you vont to make love to beautiful Russian woman", falling asleep in Sydney on new years eve.........Fighting off an amorous steward on an overnight train who clearly wanted more than beer we were drinking, are some that I can openly talk about in erm......polite company and with grand children who can read rather well, need to ensure that my musings have a reasonable sence of decorum.
So, in preparation for my big trip to Darwin overland by Odyssey (look these guys up, the trip is going to be awesome) I am getting my sorry arse out of a rather comfortable groove and doing all those things you need to do for a very long trip away from good old blighty.
